Malaysian photographer and performance artist, Jemima Yong, presents a series of photos from Wrecked – a production recently performed at Wilton’s Music Hall. Set against the political instability of Nineteenth Century Paris, Wrecked tells the true story of Théodore Géricault. Géricault, an artist whose surviving documents and images help paint the portrait of his dramatic life, is taken from the brink of madness by a doomed love affair to the creation of his greatest painting, The Raft of Medusa. Wrecked was written and directed by John East and Pete Reed of the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. All images © copyright of Jemima Yong.
